Commitments under operating leases relate primarily to leasehold property and office equipment.

 In October 2011, we entered into a lease agreement for approximately 100,000 square feet of office space. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the landlord has constructed a single, three-story building of rentable space located at 590 Middlefield Road in Mountain View, California which we will lease and which will serve as our headquarters. The term of the lease agreement is for a period of 10 years, and will commence in November 2012, with a base lease commitment of approximately $40.0 million. We have two options to extend the term of the lease agreement at market rates. Each extension is for an additional 60 month term.

In March 2012, we entered into a lease agreement for approximately 46,000 square feet of manufacturing, distribution and office space located at 735 Sycamore Drive in Milpitas, California which commenced in October 2012. The term of the lease agreement is for a period of 60 months, with a base lease commitment of approximately $1.8 million and a single 60 month extension option.

Commencing with the acquisition of MTS, we assumed responsibility for its 132,500 square feet of manufacturing, warehousing and office space in St. Petersburg, Florida. The remaining term of the original 12 year lease agreement is through September 30, 2016 with a remaining base lease commitment of approximately $3.7 million. We have two options to extend the term of the lease agreement at market rates. Each extension is for an additional 60 month term.

In Leeds, United Kingdom, we lease an office and distribution center. The remaining term of the original 10 year lease agreement is through June 8, 2021, with no extension options. The remaining base lease commitment, converted from British Pounds at the current conversion rate, is approximately $1.2 million. We also have smaller rented offices in Strongsville, Ohio and Germany.

We purchase components from a variety of suppliers and use contract manufacturers to provide manufacturing services for our products. During the normal course of business, we issue purchase orders with estimates of our requirements several months ahead of the delivery dates. Our near-term commitments to our contract manufacturers and suppliers totaled $6.3 million as of September 30, 2012.

At September 30, 2012, we have recorded $3.5 million for uncertain tax positions under long term liabilities, in accordance with GAAP, summarized under Note 1, “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” As these liabilities do not reflect actual tax assessments, the timing and amount of payments we might be required to make will depend upon a number of factors. Accordingly, as the timing and amount of payment cannot be estimated, the current balance of the uncertain tax position liabilities has not been included in the table of commitments above.
